WOYWW #759 - Staying Gnome for Christmas

Well the scrapbooking is desperately trying to resurface after all the tag making - it's on the desk but that's as far as it has got.

Excited for son coming home this year.

Turned down all parties as IBS resurfaced Saturday, I really find this time so stressful, looking forward to son's birthday and the New Year.

I showed my friend my Bibles with all the gnomes today and she said I HAD to open my present early, excellent...a gnome decoration! YAY!

Here are last week's gnomes, they seem to be a hit with lots of folks...

Mr "Nothing is Impossible" Gnome

Mr "Bells of Peace" Gnome

Mr "Given a Gift" Gnome

Mr "Everlasting Life" Gnome


Mr "The Beauty of Jesus" Gnome

Mr "King of Kings" Gnome

Mr "Taste and See" Gnome

And my gift...Love him


I did make a tag from the bits and pieces I had left over on my desk




And last but not least, my week 51 card from the #scripture52 series.



Happy WOYWW Christmas Everyone.

    I do hope the IBS settles soon BJ and you can enjoy the time with your son and family. The gnomes look even better all together like this. Stay safe and Merry WOYWW Christmas. Sarah #1

    Oh dear but there is nothing worse than being ill at this time of year - I know, we all had Covid last year! I hope your condition settles down at least, cause there is no "getting over it" is there. Hope you are able to enjoy yours son's birthday and the stress receeds a bit at least!
    Happy Christmas WOYWW!

    All the gnomes are fab but I really love the one with the golden crown! You’ve got the knack in getting their personalities across. Sorry you’ve got IBS, it’s that time of year when things jump out at you, hope you feel better soon xx

    I'm late calling in cos I had a surprise customer this morning who wanted 7 memory bears making before Christmas!!! Hense I've been head down sewing all day and hope to finish them off tomorrow as I am out tonight at Sam's singing concert [He's singing a duet with a little 9 yr old little girl so will be taking my tissues ].
    I'm doing a flying visit today to wish everyone a very happy Christmas. Hope to 'see' you all after the festivities.
    Hugs,

    Ugh, wish I could suggest something to help with the flare up, less stress would of course be the answer, but you either feel it or you don't. Generally I think I don't, and I know I'm lucky, but yep, this time of year even gets to me a bit! Feel better soon.
    Your gnome gift is lovely isn't it, making a nice coincidence with your bible gnomes I must say! Happy to see the scrapbooking is calling, will probably do you good to kick back and relax with it. happy Christmas!

    I'm a bit late getting round today as we've been to pick up a new car this afternoon. I think we are all guilty of having stuff that we mean to do and it gets left again and again, maybe one day. Christmas shouldn't be stressful but it certainly can be when you've got everything to organise. Try to take it easy if you can. Wishing you a very happy woyww Christmas. Angela x11x

    I hope your IBS settles before Christmas. Will you be going to the midnight service? I am hoping my back will be okay. We go to my son’s Christmas Eve and I leave for church from there. Wishing a merry Christmas. Happy WOYWW. Angela #18
